PHILADELPHIA, juno 4-Delegates from the
nine local assemblies of Philadelphia attached
to the expelled Carpet workers National Trade
Districb Assembly No 126 met here to-day to
consider the action of the general executive
board. No definite action was reached except
in the case of the boycott ordered by the general
executive board. Murmurs of indignation fol-
lowed the reading of the boycott order. 1t was
denounced a blow at the expelled assembly,
all the employees of Higgins q Co. mem
bers of 126. This action of the general execu-
tive beard was considered as act in a conspir-
acy between the board and District Assembly
40. of New York, to crush 126 out of existence,
and it was determined not only to protect the
interests of Higgins & Co., but to make such
vigorous canvass among the members of the
order that the boycott of the board will result
beneficially to the firm.
